Proposed Consent Decree, Clean Air Act Citizen Suit

In accordance with section 113(g) of the Clean Air Act, as amended (``CAA'' or the ``Act''), notice is hereby given of a proposed consent decree to address a lawsuit filed by Sierra Club: Sierra Club v. McCarthy, No. 4:14-cv-02149-CRC (D.D.C.). On December 18, 2014, Plaintiff filed a complaint alleging that Gina McCarthy, in her official capacity as Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA''), failed to perform a non-discretionary duty to grant or deny within 60 days a petition submitted by Sierra Club on July 28, 2014, requesting that EPA object to a CAA Title V permit issued by the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services for Public Service Company of New Hampshire's Schiller Station power plant located in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The proposed consent decree would establish a deadline for EPA to take such action.
